Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 80 When the liquidation is in progress, the distant "guest" has arrived

Clearing is a big project.

As the Department of Intellectual Visits has been busy for several days, some officials who committed the most serious crimes were the first to be pushed out for questioning and execution.

At the entrance of the vegetable market, dozens of people were tied up and knelt on the ground. These guys who used to be aloof and invincible are now full of despair, as if they have passed away.

The common people outside the execution ground watched in layers, with indescribable joy on their faces.

Right now, each of these officials is notorious, and each of them has at least a few direct murder cases, and I don't know how many indirect ones, and I don't know how many evils they have done by relying on their arrogant dogs.

There are simply too many books to write.

"The king of Bei'an declared that mistakes must be corrected and crimes must be punished. It is not a pity for these heinous people to die. I hope that future generations will learn from it and take it as a warning!"

After the announcement, the charges of each criminal were announced.

This is also the link set by Su Yuan.

That's what he did in Beifeng City. Whoever is going to beheaded, he has to explain what the person has committed before beheading him, and explain why he beheaded, so that the common people will know clearly.

At the same time, let the prisoner listen to himself, and listen to what bastard things he has done.

Su Yuan thought this link was very good, and it would make the common people very happy.This is the case in Beifeng City, and it is still the same in Taiyuan now.

Listening to the incriminating evidence read out, the common people gritted their teeth, wishing they could rush up to the execution platform, turn into an executioner, and cut off the prisoner's head with their own hands.

After reading the long crime, the executioner raised the knife without hesitation, and the crowd suddenly burst into cheers.

Some relatives and friends who were harmed by these officials are even more tearful below.

"Long live the king of Bei'an!"

These people shouted in unison, they knew very well in their hearts that without Bei'an King Su Yuan, these high-ranking criminals would never be punished.They will never be able to redress their grievances.

After the first batch is cut, there will be a second batch and a third batch.

Su Yuan was not in a hurry, and asked the people from the Zhifang Department to search for evidence carefully. He wanted to ensure that no one who was guilty could escape, and no one who was not guilty could be wronged.

While collecting evidence from criminal officials, the common people also reflected some good officials.

There are a total of more than a dozen officials, most of them are small officials, and they have a good reputation among the common people. Dozens of ordinary people have come to Zhifusi to speak for them.

After the Department of Intellectual Visits investigated and made sure it was true, they reported the situation to Su Yuan.After Su Yuan found out, without thinking, he released these officials whom the common people had agreed upon, and went to visit and communicate with them in person.

In the overall corrupt environment of Dazhou, it is rare to find officials who can still insist on integrity. After Su Yuan chatted with them, some of them were willing to continue working, and some wanted to resign and return to their hometowns.

The person who wanted to resign did not say so, but Su Yuan understood.

They were all worried that if he, Su Yuan, was defeated in the future, those who served as officials under him might have to be punished for treason.

Su Yuan fully understands this worry, he keeps those who are willing to do it, and promotes them all.

Anyway, there are so many vacancies on the top floor, so it's just right for them to fill them.

After dealing with this part of the matter, Su Yuan asked Shen Lian to start raiding the house.

When it comes to ransacking homes, Shen Lian is quite familiar with it.He copied it once in Beifeng City back then, but this time it was changed to Taiyuan, and he copied it correctly.

The first thing to copy is the homes of the four major families.

Each of their families has more silver than the five families in North Wind City combined, and each has many shops, fields and other assets, which are more valuable than their gold and silver.

And not only in Taiyuan City, but also in other cities in Mozhou, the assets of the four major families also have a lot, and of course they have to be confiscated.

Shen Lian was copying it, while Su Yuan was in the palace, discussing the use of the money with Lu Wuyou.

Lu Wuyou said: "My lord, the sum of the money stolen from the four major families and other officials and rich merchants is more than ten million taels. If such a large amount of money is used for people's livelihood, it will definitely be of great benefit to the people."

"I know that. Worry-free, you know Mozhou well, and you are good at arithmetic. These days, you have drawn up a specific regulation for the use of silver to show me."

Lu Wuyou couldn't help being moved when he heard the words, and immediately said seriously: "This subordinate will definitely live up to the lord's trust."

He knew that it was definitely his trust that Su Yuan was willing to hand over so much money to him.He must go all out to be worthy of this trust
"By the way, worry-free, I have an idea."

"Sir, please speak."

"I went out and walked around before, and the houses of several big families are really too big. Especially your Lu family, which almost occupies an entire street."

Lu Wuyou thoughtfully said: "What does the lord mean, do you want to demolish the big houses built by several families?"

"That's right." Su Yuan nodded, "How many people can live in such a big house? Many people in Taiyuan live in cramped huts, but those big houses are empty. I really don't like it."

Taiyuan City is so big, but the living conditions of the common people are not as good as Beifeng City, which really surprised him.

After careful study, the houses of several big families occupy too much land, as well as some restaurants and horse farms for their entertainment. Su Yuan has to demolish these things.

Lu Wuyou thought for a moment, and agreed: "My lord is able to consider the common people in such details, and I admire you. This subordinate will arrange people and study the demolition work."

"Yes. By the way, have you read Qingxiang's latest imperial decree?"

"The subordinates have seen it."

A few days after Su Yuan captured Taiyuan and established himself as king, the capital finally responded.

The imperial decree issued by Emperor Qingxiang was, to be precise, a "challenge against thieves".

The content was lacklustre, it was nothing more than scolding Su Yuan and expressing that he would send an army to fight against him.

What surprised Su Yuan was that people from the Jianghu were actually mentioned in this essay.It is said that it is hoped that people from all corners of the country will actively join the army and publicly punish the country's thieves.

"Is this old man Qingxiang out of his mind? He actually called on people from all over the world to join the army."

Lu Wuyou said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates guess that Da Zhou's current military strength is not sufficient. I'm afraid the effect will not be good if we rush to conquer the Lord. Therefore, I hope to recruit more masters of the rivers and lakes, form an army, and first try to capture the Tianmen Pass."

"Well, that makes sense."

Su Yuan nodded in agreement.

Tianmen Pass is the gateway of Mozhou to the outside world. If you want to enter Mozhou, you must first conquer Tianmen Pass.

But Tianmenguan, as the name suggests, is like the gate of heaven. It is erected between two mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to attack by force, you can't do it without five or six times the strength.

In this way, instead of relying on a large army to make a surprise attack, it is better to form a "special attack team" of dozens or hundreds of martial arts masters, try to see if there is a chance to sneak into Tianmen Pass, and launch a surprise attack by beheading.

If it is against other people, this trick may be effective.But it's useless against Su Yuan.

There are no "generals" among his summoned soldiers, so who will be beheaded?Everyone is an individual, and they all directly obey Su Yuan.

Su Yuan told them to stick to it, and they would stick to it, no matter who died.Unless those masters can kill the "terminal" Su Yuan, there is no point in killing other summoned soldiers.

However, this point is the deepest secret, and no one knows except Su Yuan.

After Lu Wuyou came out of the palace, he went to the prison again.

Because the jailer reported that it was the head of the Che family who was being held in the prison, and he kept clamoring to see him.

Among the four major families in Taiyuan, the Xu family and the Chen family are in-laws.The Lu family and the Che family are in-laws.Now that the head of the Che family wants to see him, Lu Wuyou can probably think of what it is.

Originally, he didn't want to go, but for the sake of his sister-in-law, he still went to see her.Although his elder brother is a bastard, his elder sister-in-law is a kind and honest person who has never done anything evil.

Moreover, Lu Wuyou had always been dissolute before, and was not welcomed by the Lu family. Only his sister-in-law didn't look down on him very much, and would occasionally ask for warmth.For someone like Lu Wuyou, he would always cherish this little warmth in his heart.

When Lu Wuyou came to the prison, the head of the Che family started to cry when he saw him.

"Nephew, nephew!"

"..."

"Nephew..." The head of the Che family stretched out his hands, holding onto Lu Wuyou's hand tightly through the railing, "Nephew, don't just ignore death in times of crisis! Your elder brother is my son-in-law. , you should also call me uncle! Nephew, you can't just watch your uncle die!"

Lu Wuyou took a little effort, pulled out his hand, and said, "I really should call you uncle. But I want to tell you, uncle, I can't do anything."

"Don't say that!" The elder of the Che family burst into tears, "I understand that the king of Bei'an is a good man, a good man! I am willing to support him, you tell him, I will give him all the family property, as long as he can Just spare my life."

"..."

Lu Wuyou worriedly said that all your property has been confiscated, so what else is there to give.

The head of the Che family probably recalled it himself, and quickly said: "I am in Qingzhou, and I still have some assets in the capital, and a lot of banknotes in the bank in the capital! I can take them all out and give them to King Bei'an!"

Lu Wuyou frowned and said, "Uncle, you still don't understand what happened? Your lord doesn't value money."

"I don't care about money. What do you value? By the way, my five girls...you, the king of Bei'an, are not married yet? My five girls are good at Che Meiqin, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, and they are also pretty. Go talk about it and let Bei'an The lord accepts her as a concubine, if not, she can be a maid."

"Uncle Che!" Lu Wuyou really couldn't listen anymore, "You should give up your heart. You said that the prince doesn't value money, but I can tell you that what he values ​​is righteousness."

"Uncle Che, many people have reported to the Zhifang Department about the things you have done. No matter who you ask for mercy, it is useless. The prince and I will not shield anyone."

Hearing this, the head of the Che family's eyes dimmed a little bit.

He took a few steps back, slipped against the wall and fell to the ground, muttering: "I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

"Uncle Che, you have lived long enough. Those people who died because of you, who are they going to complain about?" Lu Wuyou looked down at the prisoner, with a hint of judgment in his words.

"Let's just accept reality."

……

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Su Yuan seized Mozhou and made himself king, and the imperial court issued an appeal against thieves. This series of events not only quickly spread throughout the entire Zhou Dynasty, but also set off a new round of upsurge in the Jianghu.

To be precise, since Su Yuan destroyed the Yunshan faction, his name has been resounding in the Jianghu.

After all, it was the first time that the army wiped out the sects of Jianghu after so many years had passed since the Martial Edict.

Therefore, Su Yuan has also become the object of curses by many people in the rivers and lakes.

When offering a reward to Su Yuan earlier, many Jianghu people went to Beifeng City with the idea of ​​trying their luck. As a result, those people who were rumored in the Jianghu never came back, causing other people to stop mentioning this matter.

Now that Su Yuan has won the entire Mozhou, it has surprised everyone in the Jianghu.

This is a whole state, and the territory of Dazhou is vast, and one state is more than the land of several foreign states combined.

Now Su Yuan has a state, and he also defeated the army of Beirong before. If this allows him to own the land of Beibei, it will be enough to be called a "small country".

This immediately made many Jianghu people unable to sit still.

As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to live in.

Heroes have been born in troubled times since ancient times, who knows if this Su Yuan will be the next hero.If he really wants to make things happen, then his current subordinates will all have meritorious service in the future.

Even if he can't conquer the Great Zhou, and only occupy the area of ​​Mozhou, with the help of the Tianmen Pass, Su Yuan can still occupy a place and become a local emperor.

Wouldn't it be nice to go to the emperor's place and become an official?
For a time, people in the arena floated.

Many people were still scolding Su Yuan in front of them, and now they are already thinking about whether to go to him or not.

Not only individuals, but even some small sects are considering whether to move their clan to Mozhou.Because they heard that after Su Yuan occupied Mozhou, he made many new policies, which were also beneficial to them, warriors.

It's just that the specifics of those policies are unclear, because the local governments have explicitly prohibited discussing a series of policies in Mozhou.Anyone who discusses it will be regarded as a spy sent by Su Yuan and arrested.

For a time, there were endless incidents of killing good people and pretending to be meritorious.

This made many celebrities see some clues, packed up their things quietly, and prepared to go to Mozhou to have a look.

And at this juncture, a caravan ushered in at Tianmen Pass.

Soldiers conduct a cargo inspection.

"Military men check slowly, don't get tired."

The caravan owner was sitting sideways on a white horse. It was a woman in a purple robe, with very charming curly hair and a smile at the corner of her mouth. She was holding a wooden can the size of a fist in her hand, shaking it gently.

The soldiers guarding the gate confirmed that there were no prohibited items in the cargo and chose to let it go.

"It's really hard work."

The curly-haired woman couldn't help being a little surprised that the soldiers didn't even look at her.You know, her appearance has fascinated many people in the past.

"No wonder King Bei'an was able to capture Mozhou. With such elite soldiers, it's no problem to go further." The curly-haired woman chuckled and sighed.

"pity……"

The caravan passed through the Tianmen Pass, and after walking hundreds of steps, the curly-haired woman gently unscrewed the wooden jar in her hand.

Among them were a dozen strange-looking green bugs with long tentacles swaying around, as if they were looking for something.

"Come on kid, let's go."

The curly-haired woman flipped her wrist, the wooden jar fell over, and a dozen green bugs fell to the ground.As soon as they landed, they quickly burrowed into the soil and disappeared.

The curly-haired woman turned her head to look at Tianmenguan again, with a tricky smile on the corner of her mouth, and then continued to set off for Taiyuan City.
